Milo,

...I used to keep accurate records of shed and feeding dates and have a large notebook that includes info for females that laid upwards of 40 litters during the years I was recording the information. I have had them shed from one to four times between last observed breeding and parturition but three seems to be the common number. I have also had many litters born while the female was opaque prior to shedding. Because of that variation in number of sheds I saw no correllation like in Bci breeding to predict birth dates. The best predicter I saw was that nearly all BRB litters were laid around 5.5 months after last observed mating.

>>The below posts about a POS for BRB's got me thinking and I was wondering in you experience, on average how many times will a female shed during pregnancy?

>>Also I seem to remember a picture on you site in the past of a stiped BRB. I was thinking it was on the upper right of one of the pages. Was this yours, or am I thinking of another site?

>>Thanks, Milo
